because he was not falling into the path which was occupied by those who maintain that all organized beings have been derived from a few original progenitors. Other supporters of the transmutation doctrine assume that they can demonstrate the changes to have taken place by showing certain degrees of resemblance; but what they never touch is the quality and condition of those few first progenitors from which they are evolved. They assume that they contained all that is necessary to evolve what exists now. That is begging the question at the outset; for if these first prototypes contained the principle of evolution, we should know something about them from observation, and it should be shown that there are such organized beings as are capable of evolution.

"I ask, Whence came properties? If this power and capacity of change is not inherent to the first progenitors, then I ask, Whence came the impulses by which those progenitors which have not this power of change in themselves acquire them? What is the power by which they are started in directions which are not determined by their primitive nature? From the total silence of the supporters of the transmutation theory on these and other points, he did not think it worth his while to take the slightest notice of this doctrine of evolution in his scientific considerations."

Here again, by a most lucid analysis from the standpoint of a demand for demonstrable facts, the evolution "transmutation of species" theory stands dumb in the presence of true science. Not a fact in support of such a theory has been produced. Weighed and wanting, is the verdict of science after a considerate review of the claims of this most unscientific fraud, that has been foisted upon the world under the name of science for the purpose of unseating God as Creator of the universe. In the record of His creative work in the first chapter of Genesis it is seven times repeated that herbs, grass, fruit-trees, water creatures, winged fowls, creeping things, beasts, and cattle, each produce "after his kind." The law "after his kind" is written in every species of natural history in support of that statement of the Creator.
